In this class, food serves as both the subject and the object of historical analysis. As a subject, food has been transformed over the last 100 years, largely as a result of ever more elaborate scientific and technological innovations. From a need to preserve surplus foods for leaner times grew an elaborate array of techniques – drying, freezing, canning, salting, etc – that changed not only what people ate, but how far they could/had to travel, the space in which they lived, their relations with neighbors and relatives, and most of all, their place in the economic order of things. The role of capitalism in supporting and extending food preservation and development was fundamental. As an object, food offers us a way into cultural, political, economic, and techno-scientific hist In this class, food serves as both the subject and the object of historical analysis.

Professor of Political Science 1914-1923
Extracts from ?Portraits from the Past: Graham Wallas: 1858-1932,? by W.A. Robson from LSE Magazine, May 1971, No41, p.5
?The son of an Anglican clergyman, he went to Shrewsbury and then to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he read classics. His first post was as a schoolmaster at Highgate School but he left after a few years on a question of religious conformity. He then became an extension lecturer in London University in 1890. He joined the Fabian Society in its early days and wrote one of the original Fabian Essays. As a friend and colleague of the Webbs and Bernard Shaw he played a leading part in the creation and development of LSE from the day of its conception in August 1894, at the farm near Godalming where the four were staying, until the end of his active life. He was a lecturer at the School from 1895 and later became its first Professor of Political Science?Wallas was much greater as teacher than as a writer. As H.G Wells remarked in his Autobiography, ?the London School of Economics will testify how much the personal Graham Wallas outdid the published Graham Wallas?there is scarcely any considerable figure among the younger generation of publicists who does not owe something to his slow, fussy, mannered, penetrating and inspiring counsels.? Of his own debt Wells wrote ?I cannot measure justly the influence of the disinterested life he led on my own. It was I think very considerable.? Many of us who were his students and friends feel a similar debt. No small part of Wallas? influence was due to his lovable personality and the spirit of benevolence and altruism which shone through him at all times.?
Excerpt from reminiscences of former staff. 'LSE Material on the history of the School' LSE Archives ref R(S.R)1101, p.119:
Florence Mare on Graham Wallas,
'Of all the lecturers I think the most beloved was that great man Graham Wallas. He was a born teacher: his simplicity of illustration, his enthusiasm for his subject, his profound analysis of causes made a deep impression on all who attended his lectures in political science. Essays set by him had to be forthcoming no matter which others got left undone! On the completion of a course of lectures which he gave many years afterwards at B'ham Univ I remember him standing stock still, dumfounded at the thunderous burst of applause that came from the audience. Then he softly murmured 'thank you.'

This course focuses on one particular aspect of the history of computing: the use of the computer as a scientific instrument. The electronic digital computer was invented to do science, and its applications range from physics to mathematics to biology to the humanities. What has been the impact of computing on the practice of science? Is the computer different from other scientific instruments? Is computer simulation a valid form of scientific experiment? Can computer models be viewed as surrogate theories? How does the computer change the way scientists approach the notions of proof, expertise, and discovery? No comprehensive history of scientific computing has yet been written.

Name: Percy J. Proctor
Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 2 March 1906
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-85-Percy J Proctor
The Shields Daily News for 2 March 1906 reports:
"A FRAUDULENT LODGER AT NORTH SHIELDS
At North Shields Police Court today, Percy John Proctor (16), draper's assistant, Castle Terrace, Richmond, was charged on a warrant with having, between the 24th and 26th Feb., obtained by means of false pretences, from Cecilia Miller, food of the value of 5s, with intent to defraud.
The prosecutrix, who resides at 18 Addison Street, said that between one and two o'clock on the 25th ult. the prisoner and another young man came to her house and asked to be taken in as lodgers. Accused said he was a printer and his companion represented himself as an engineman employed at Mr Moore's in Tyne Street. They arranged to pay her 14s a week and she took them in.
On Monday morning they went out to commence work and returned at noon. The following morning breakfast was prepared for them and she went to call them, and found that the accused's companion had disappeared whereupon she informed the police.
Arthur Smith, foreman with Mr Moore, said the accused had never been in the employment of Mr Moore. Detective Radcliffe said that on the 27th ult. he arrested the prisoner at a house in West Percy Street and charged him with the offence. He made no reply. Formally charged, the accused pleaded guilty and had nothing to say.
The father of the accused, a respectable looking man, said his son left home a fortnight ago and he traced him to North Shields, where he saw him in the company of another boy. He tried to persuade him to go home but with no avail.
Col. Kidd (magistrates' clerk): What do you propose should be done with him.
The Father: I am willing that he should go to sea or join the army, but he declines to go home so I cannot say what should be done in the meantime.
The Chairman asked the accused if he would go home and he replied in the negative. He was committed to prison for a month in the second division.
The Chairman remarked that this mean form of cheating had become too common in the town and the defendant had made his case worse by showing no signs of repentance and being so stubborn. In Gaol he would be able to reflect upon his position".
These images are a selection from an album of photographs of prisoners brought before the North Shields Police Court between 1902 and 1916 in the collection of Tyne & Wear Archives (TWA ref DX1388/1).
This set contains mugshots of boys and girls under the age of 21. This reflects the fact that until 1970 that was the legal age of majority in the UK.

This research aimed to evaluate if backspatter evidence inside barrel may indicate the maximum possible muzzle-target range in shooting incidents. However, the plethora of variables which collectively influence wounding, and thus potentially effect backspatter production, coupled with the inherent randomness of backspatter occurrence within the barrel, suggests that such evidence must be interpreted with caution. When comparing 9mm Luger hollow point and jacketed soft point rounds discharged from a SIG Sauer, backspatter within the barrel was observed at greater muzzle-target distances for the hollow point. Possible explanations include differences in efficiency of energy transference to target coupled with differences in distribution of energy between crush and stretch mechanisms. DNA ana

Launch party of HMS Jackal, launched at the Hebburn shipyard of Hawthorn Leslie, 9 September 1911 (TWAM ref. 4923/2).
HMS Jackal was an Acheron-class destroyer and during the First World War took part in the Battle of Heligoland Bight on 28 August 1914 and the Battle of Dogger Bank on 24 January 1915.
The shipyard of R. & W. Hawthorn Leslie at Hebburn built many fine warships. During the First World War the firm built 2 light cruisers, 3 destroyer leaders and 25 torpedo boat destroyers. The firm also built machinery and boilers for 2 battleships, and a further 3 light cruisers. These and other warships built by Hawthorn Leslie before the War, are remembered in this set.
There are remarkable images of warships under construction at Hebburn, as well as fascinating shots of the people who attended the launches. The set also contains majestic views of the ships at sea. The images are not only a testimony to the skill of those who designed and built these ships but also to the courage of those who sailed in them.
